Chapter 179 - Completing The Test (II)

He then unexpectedly dashed towards the beast and leaped over it. And as soon as he appeared high in the air above the the beast, he turned his body upside down in the air and immediately aimed out his palm which had began to glow in a stunning black radiance at the towering, horrifying creature below him.

Bang!

The instant that he aimed his glowing palm out at the creature, a loud bang sound abruptly rang out with a huge mass of jet-black energy immediately erupting from his fist and turning into a large, jet-black blade that began to emanate the power to devastate all things in it path.

So, seeming like a massive, luminous black blade that was unleashed by a devil, the blade which produced ripples of unbridled laceration power, struck the creature.

Bang!

The instant that the huge blade heavily struck the armored hide of the petrifying humanoid creature, hundreds of sparks abruptly jumped out from the blade's point of collision with the hide of the creature. But because of the toughness of the thick armor worn by the creature, the radiant black blade was not able to cut through the armor and through the body of the creature to slash it into halves from the head down.

While Xiao Lin who would soon land to the ground from his high jump into the air towards the creature, was unexpectedly caught by one of the limbs of the creature which had a glowing bronze hook as a hand. Then as soon as it caught Xiao Lin, it smacked him really hard against the ground.

Bang!

Arghhh!!

The instant Xiao Lin's body smashed into the floor, he screamed out in pain and fury. Despite the amazing toughness of his body, he wasn't able to fully resist the force transmitted into his body from his insanely heavy impact with the ground.

Then as soon as the creature smashed Xiao Lin's body into the ground, it lifted him once again into the air and abruptly flung him away into the far distance like he were a small piece of rock.

Bang!

Xiao Lin's body smashed into the ground once more.

However, he quickly stood back to his feet from where he was thrown to and then began to look at the dreadful creature in the distance with fierceness and deep contemplation in his eyes.

Now, there was no dark-colored Spiritual Energy in his dantian to continue contesting with his fearsome, non-existent opponent, since it only existed in his mind.

'What do I do about this damned creature before me?' Xiao Lin asked.

He then continued, 'Perhaps this is the last phase of the illusion and so, I was made to come across this creature that looks and feels like the ultimate illusionary challenger that I am supposed to battle with to successfully complete the test.'

'But it's so damn strong. I can't even count the numbers of strong, muscular limbs that it has on both sides of it powerful, elongated abdomen. Ugh! And if I don't perhaps destroy it, the test won't come to an end, which would only mean that I have failed once the time duration for the test is up.'

'I guess I am left with no choice than to unleash my Blood Energy? Because if I call it quit here since I don't want to display any of my energies to the elders presently watching us for our performances, they would immediately take me out of this exam ground. And I have come too far only to be shown the way out, which is absolutely a terrible result that I wouldn't like to settle with. It's better to destroy myself than to be shown the way out of here and then come across the enraged Nine Calamities and the higher-ups of his organization'

Once Xiao Lin thought to here, he nodded his head. He then said further within himself, 'Then if they ask me that what particular cultivation method am I using to be able to cultivate two Spiritual Energies, and generate that blood-colored energy which is my True Vampire Origin Blood Force energy, I will tell them that it was as a result of my Animal Spirit which caused a total change to my Spiritual Energy. Then I will explain further that when it was summoned into my body during the Spirit Summoning Ritual, it immediately transformed half of my dark Spiritual Energy into the blood-colored energy that they noticed I unleash. Then it grew stronger with time as my Animal Spirit grew.'

'Well, I hope that they accept this explanation, since the elders who have studied and comprehended a lot before getting to their respective high cultivation stages, may be able to quickly tell that I am speaking lies, since there is possibly no one in our world who has been able to cultivate even two internal energies at once before.'

'Anyways, there is nothing that I can do about that than unleash my Blood Energy to pass this test, or this creature with many limbs and weapons as hands, is going to prevent me from successfully completing this difficult task. Besides, unleashing my Blood Energy, is far better than losing to this illusionary opponent of mine. Although this second part of my four internal energies would be shown to them, I still however have two more energies and can cultivate more since the mysterious, dantian-sealing method of my Animal Spirit has basically transformed my dantian, allowing me to cultivate much more energy than normal.'

Immediately Xiao Lin rapidly contemplated all these within his mind, he nodded his head in agreement to what he thought and then abruptly dashed towards the creature far in front of him to continue attacking it.

So, as he dashed towards the creature without using any form of Movement Technique to augment his speed to a shocking level, his fist began to emanate an ominous blood-red color, which then gave the absolute feeling that thick, bright blood had filled his fist and that a light of dazzling brilliance was shining forth from within it, causing his fist to emit that blinding, eerie blood-red glow.

Then once he appeared a few feet before the creature some moments later, he abruptly jumped into the air once more towards the creature which stared at his fist that was producing that bright, spine-chilling glow of blood that made his fist comparable to the glowing, blood-red claws of a Blood-Sucking Ghoul or Demon.

"Destroy!" Xiao Lin shouted as he punched out at the creature.

BANG!

The instant that he punched out at the creature, after moving Blood Energy from his dantian through some special arteries to his fist, with the energy beginning to churn violently and produce a shocking bizarre power and an overbearing, suffocating presence that gave the feeling that it was the incomparably powerful essence of a tyrannical Blood God, Blood Energy immediately discharged out of Xiao Lin's fist as a huge mass of blood, before abruptly turning into a solid, blood-red halberd that shot towards the creature at a great speed, and constantly emitted a rippling, horrifying power to turn everything in it path into nothing but blood.

BANG!!

The halberd heavily struck the creature in Xiao Lin's vision and simply shattered it into pieces. And as soon as the halberd reduced the creature to nothing but countless shreds, it continued into the distance like it didn't come across any obstacle before brutally impacting into one of the many luminous, solid barriers of energy which basically enclosed each of them and protected them from the rebound of their own attacks, and from the launched attacks of their fellow examinees.

Xiao Lin who saw that he had simply destroyed the creature in his head with one of the more powerful attacks that he had been busy comprehending all these while before he came to this sect to become a disciple, produced a bright and joyous smile in his sheet-white face.

He then collapsed to the ground with his back to rest after sending out such a powerful attack that required a tremendous amount of Blood Energy.

Actually, the attack that he sent out was a pretty higher-level attack which also required a longer amount of time to build, but because he was desperate in finishing the battle with his illusionary opponent on time, he was left with no choice than to use that advanced, highly offensive technique and abruptly send it out to instantly annihilate his target.

Then due to the massive amounts of energy required to operate the fearsomely powerful attack, the quantity of Blood Energy in his dantian, the one stored by the Ordinary Blood Symbols floating in his dantian, quickly reduced by more than half. Furthermore, a lot of energy was wasted in producing the attack, since some of the energy weren't pulled back to the core or base of the attack to generate the massive halberd. Therefore, because of this wastage which Xiao Lin couldn't avoid due to not being adept at unleashing the attack yet, the attack had it destructive power reduced by many degrees.. However, it was still powerful enough to frighten someone at a higher cultivation stage than him, and grievously injure him or her if they underestimated the devastating might carried by the absolutely baleful offensive that he unleashed.
